    I really like the fact that you have no glare on the hood. I've got one mounted about the windshield and it's pretty much worthless because it just blinds me. Thinking of getting one for front and rear.

    I'm thinking about mounting on on the back pointed backwards as well, but i have two little spots i'm toying with as well. Be an awful shock to anyone who tailgates with their high beams on that's for sure.

    I've got 2 pods on the tailgate and 2 flush mount pods in the bumper. Been there for about a year and it's rare that I've ever turned them on some behind me. They really have to be an ass to get them. But when I do flip them on, they back off quick. Also the flush mount pods are super easy to mount and a must if you have tinted windows. Turns night into day when your backing up.

    Nope, Rago Fabrication. They’re the only ones I saw for first gen that didn’t require trimming or drilling.

    So when you use your turn signals, the lights flash?

    No, they were in the corner lights in this picture. I now have retrofit switchback headlights so my halo's are my turn signal along with the corner lights. I did the green wire mod.

    Just wondering if anyone can help. I like this set up with the led bar on the hood, that is mounted under the rack bar, How would you route the power wire down into the hood so it is hidden and no drilling required? I have a 2002 double cab. Thanks.

    Anyone have any recommendations for amber/ tungsten colored lightbars? I know they have amber lenses that can be put in front, but was wondering if there were any with amber emitters so I don't have any light loss from a filter?

    I'd like to be in the 3200k-4500k range since I can't stand blue-white lighting. If not can someone point me towards bars that are the closest to that warmer light range?

    Any issues with glare on your white hood?

    I want a roof mounted, but I'm worried about my hood reflecting too much light back at me

    For those of you who mounted a light bar between the 2 outside valence pieces, could you send the link to your light bar and the mounts you used and any other additional info I would need.
